Multi-sector Air Pollutants Regulations

Environment related objective
To protect the environment through tackling air pollution and emissions
Measure description		Coverage of the measure
Multi-sector Air Pollutants Regulations		Multi-sector air pollutants. The Multi-sector Air Pollutants Regulations (“proposed Regulations”) would impose mandatory national performance standards on specific sector/equipment groups, in order to establish a nationally consistent emissions “floor.” Within the proposed Regulations, performance standards for the cement sector and two equipment types (i.e. gaseous-fuel-fired non-utility boilers and heaters [“boilers and heaters”], and stationary spark-ignition gaseous-fuel-fired engines [“engines”]) are included. It is expected that requirements for additional sectors/equipment groups would come forward in the near future. The performance standards impose limits on the amount of nitrogen oxides (NOx) and sulphur dioxide (SO2) that can be emitted from cement manufacturing facilities, and limits the amount of NOx that can be emitted from the two equipment types.

Subsidy amount		Implementation period	Entry into force on 1 January 2015 (Section 67 comes into force on 1 January 2017)
